Days of My Life

Free verse poetry

Each day of my life,

Stretches like an eternity.

And in the drudgery of office work,

I often wonder

Where my purpose truly lies?

Not perhaps, in the grid lines of an Excel sheet.

Each day of my life,

Stretches like an eternity.

And in the misguided hope of meeting the one,

I often wonder

If my soulmate even exists?

Not perhaps, since I’ve already sold my soul.

Each day of my life,

Stretches like an eternity.

And in the bubble of my comfort zone,

I often wonder

Will I get the six-pack that I crave?

Not perhaps, as I munch on a bag of chips.

Each day of my life,

Stretches like an eternity,

But when strung together

Day after day,

Life just passes me by.

Not perhaps, if I decide to act today!
